    Trigger Advice - DPMS 308

    Re: Trigger Advice - DPMS 308 I have a Rock River NM 2 stage in mine. They are only around 90 bucks. For my big chassis ARs, I don't like a single stage, or a super light trigger. For the big AR, I highly recommend some anti-walk trigger pins when you change the trigger. They have enough...

    Glock Bulge...

    Re: Glock Bulge... Redding GRX straightens all the 40 cases I scrounge right out. It's one extra step, but it's pretty quick. Spend the extra 8 bucks and buy the bottle adapter, and then screw a 2 liter coke bottle onto it. Spray a little lube in a big baggie of brass, and go to town. Then...

    Bushmaster=hate?

    Re: Bushmaster=hate? Wow. I like the part where everyone who actually owns and shoots significant round count through their Bushmasters say they work just fine, and none of the 'problems' reported in this thread are from people who actually shot the rifle and had the issue. It's all "My...

    Handloading for 20 inch 1/7 twist .223

    Re: Handloading for 20 inch 1/7 twist .223 My 20" has shot .3" 5 round groups with 77smk's, but my sweet spot turned out to be 22.5 gr Varget. I didn't have much luck in the 24-25 grain range that seems to be so popular. I don't have a chrono, so I don't know haw fast. Boringly accurate to...

    Cost per Round

    Re: Cost per Round The Challenger is a barely sufficient press for full size (308) rifle ammo. Use it for pistol ammo and 223, and it will be fine. Mine broke the linkage within a couple of months while cranking on it to resize a 308 case. You would understand the difference if you had ever...

    DPMS real accuracy ?

    Re: DPMS real accuracy ? .4 moa here, with a 24" LR308. This gun was my introduction to LR, and I experienced some of the same doubts you are having. It definitely takes a while to get your act together when driving these things, but rest assured, the gun will shoot once you figure it out...

    Cost per Round

    Re: Cost per Round Curious about your reasoning buying a budget press and the most expensive brass cleaner. IMO, the press will have a more noticeable effect on the quality of the ammo you make than how shiny your cases are. Not that the Lee Challenger can't make good ammo, (I used one myself...

    178 A-max load help. .308

    Re: 178 A-max load help. .308 178 AMAX over 42.5 gr Varget 210M primer in FGM brass, 2.81 OAL (mag length) here. These do well in a 24" LR308 gas gun and a 26" R700, and they are well below pressure signs.

    OBR's fluted chamber XRETARDN... What's the point?

    Re: OBR's fluted chamber XRETARDN... What's the point? HK-91s & -93s had fluted chambers to facilitate extraction. F's up the brass, but on a Mil rifle, you don't care. Maybe Laroo's flutes are less aggressive than the HK's. I dunno.

    Dud primer question

    Re: Dud primer question Thanks for all the feedback, gentlemen. Sounds like a rare, but still possible, occurrence to find a dud primer. I'm a little relieved to find that it wasn't something I did. I'm also pleased to pick up some tips, and I'll now definitely make verifying my primers part...

    Dud primer question

    Re: Dud primer question Old Tex, I would be very interested in what you find when you pull the round down. I was very careful to recover the primer from mine, before it disappeared down the primer chute. Post your findings when you do.

    Dud primer question

    Re: Dud primer question BB, I get that bad primers are a rare thing, so I should buy a lottery ticket. This primer was definitely bad, no question. The priming compound on these is a reddish orange color, and looks like paint inside of the primer cup, underneath the anvil. This particular...

    Dud primer question

    Re: Dud primer question UPDATE: Ok, pulled down the round, and verrry carefully decapped the case. The Fed SR match primer was ...an empty shell. Just a cup and an anvil. Bare shiny metal, no primer compound in there at all. On one hand, I'm relieved that I didn't screw up somehow, but on the...

    getting started with .308 win

    Re: getting started with .308 win What 331 said. Mine shoots 175 SMKs and 178 AMAXs really nicely with 42.5 gn Varget. It shoots even better at 44, (seems like another node there) but I was seeing pressure signs I didn't like. fired FGMM brass 42.5 g Varget 175 SMK Fed 210m primer

    Dud primer question

    Re: Dud primer question BB, with my limited experience, I'm pretty sure I'm not doing everything perfectly, and I recognize that I have a lot to learn. That said, I am fairly meticulous and detail oriented in my process. I'm actually hoping it's something I did, so I can be aware of it and...

    Dud primer question

    First, let me say I've only been reloading for less than a year. Last weekend I had a dud primer in my .223 AR. Load was Winchester brass with careful prep. 77 SMK 22.5 g Varget Federal GM match primer. I loaded 200 of these, and they all shot very well, except one that did not go bang. There...

    Re: Brown Truck - Early Christmas Party :) Valdosta. Possibly the highest concentration of stupidly hot Southern girls of anywhere in the south. Trussville AL is the closest runner up. oops, sorry.
